Policy judgment on town-scale matters — budget, ordinances, zoning, parks, and code enforcement — within the city/town charter and Tennessee municipal law.
Budget literacy: the board approves the annual municipal budget and sets the property-tax rate.
Legislative process: drafting, amending, and voting on ordinances and resolutions in a small body that meets often.
Constituent relations in a small town — retail, relationship-based politics with high accessibility expectations.
Coordination with the town mayor, who runs day-to-day operations, while keeping legislative independence.
